More from the Daily Show’s Jason Jones in Iran (a couple weeks ago):

Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones was in Iran recently interviewing some people who are now under arrest:

And Jon Stewart interviews the son of one of those arrestees, Ebrahim Yazdi:

So what’s the over/under on the number of days before the creation and recognition of the Persian Republic?

Too many people — especially politicians and lawyers — talk about “fighting” for freedom, when they really mean talking in a civilized forum.

The people of Iran are fighting for their freedom right now.

Youtube has a channel dedicated to videos from Iran:

From the Wall Street Journal:

“Julius Genachowski, the man nominated to head the Federal Communications Commission … told a Senate committee he doesn’t support reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine, an FCC rule abandoned during the Reagan administration that required broadcasters to air both sides of an issue. He said he doesn’t believe the FCC should be in the business of censoring political speech.”

Citizen Link has some details:

The FCC’s Advisory Committee on Diversity for Communications in the Digital Age plans to meet Thursday. The group exists to “make recommendations to the FCC regarding policies and practices that will further enhance the ability of minorities and women to participate in telecommunications and related industries.”

Seton Motley, director of communications for the Media Research Center, said the commission represents more than a dozen Leftist groups, but not a single conservative organization.

He said the goal is clear.

“The Left, no longer comfortable with trying the top-down, all-out assault that is the ‘Fairness’ Doctrine, intends instead to silence conservative and Christian talk via this broadcast license manipulation,” Motley wrote in a recent blog post.

“If they can succeed in making it impossible for talk radio to operate as a business, talk radio will cease to operate. Leftist problem solved. ‘Media diversity’ is just the latest Leftist attempt to get this done.”

The Media Research Center will also be following the action on their blog, MRCAction.org
